Use hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. Mix three percent hydrogen peroxide to water solution and give your dog 1-2 tea spoons for a smaller dog by mouth every 10-15 minutes until you produce vomiting.
To treat your dog of poisoning, first induce the vomiting. Once this has occurred you need to have your dog ingest an activated charcoal which can deactivate the dangerous effects of the poison. If you procure your charcoal from your vet, follow their instructions for the dosage amount to provide. If you get it from a pharmacy follow this general rule: 1 teaspoon for dogs weighing 25 lb. or less. If you don’t have the charcoal I have heard that burnt toast is a temporary solution until you can obtain the charcoal. Get to the vet ASAP. Good luck.

What kind of chocolate? Milk? Dark? The darker the chocolate, the more concentrated and harmful the chemicals.
Check her heart rate NOW and if you start to see an elevation, get her to the vet ASAP. Keep her calm, don't let her run around.
Give her 1 teaspoon of peroxide per 10 lbs of her body mass. Do that every 15 min until she throws up. After she has thrown up, you will need to give her activated charcoal to absorb the chemicals and keep it from entering her blood stream. (You can get it at Wal-Greens in capsule form.) Give one teaspoon of charcoal mixed with 2 teaspoons of water per 10 lbs.
Also, a call to a vet at least would be a good idea given the fact that she ate quite a bit.

Chocolate in small doses is not deadly. Chocolate in large doses is deadly. Vomiting isn't enough, she needs a vet. Call the vet first, they may tell you to induce vomiting with a teaspoon or so of peroxide. But either way you HAVE to get the dog to an ER vet right away.

That is a lot of chocolate for a small dog. Call a vet and talk to them...t 'll ask you what kind of chocolate (dark, milk or white) because the toxicity varies. Also have the approximate amount of chocolate and dog's weight available. T 'll steer you in the right direction. That is a lot of chocolate for a small dog. call vet right away wow i screwed that up!

chocolate is lethal to small dogs , big sized dogs it can make them very sick .
my dog swallowed some cockroach bait when she was a puppy , i was petrified she would die . i rushed her to the local emergencey vet , and he put this stuff in the corner of her eye that makes them vomit .within minutes she brought up the poison , i have never been so relieved and petrified at the same time .

Hydrogen peroxide is used to make dogs throw up, but honestly, I couldn't give you instructions on how to do it, because I have no idea how.
Call your vet (after hours emergency), explain the situation, they'll tell ya what to do.
